Pride is a deeply significant time, one rooted in a history of resistance, a demand for equal rights, and a call to honour the LGBTQIA+ community. At Jadu, we believe in creating a workplace and a world where everyone is respected, safe, and empowered to be themselves. Pride Month is an opportunity to reaffirm that commitment.
Many businesses are currently navigating challenging landscapes, whether that be due to changing market demand, political changes, or technological shifts. People are working hard to bring in revenue, support clients, and keep things moving quickly. But here’s the truth: being “busy” shouldn’t come at the cost of burnout. When the pressure’s on, that’s precisely when caring for your people matters the most.
Last year, we announced our mission to become the world’s most accessible digital platform. As part of this, we committed to providing quarterly updates on how as a business we are doing. Here is an update on some of the progress we have made within our last quarter! Product development As part of our most recent product release (Jadu Central 3.0), the engineering and accessibility teams have worked on improving our blog themes and templates within Jadu Central to ensure they meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard and we have now retired any old blog themes that do not meet these accessibility standards. WCAG 2.2 customer updates It’s been refreshing to see many of our customers being so proactive and wanting to ensure they are meeting WCAG 2.2 AA standards. We’ve been busily supporting customers with accessibility audits and fixes to help them work on their content to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards. Training and learning We’ve launched a new accessibility training program for our partners which is being run by our Head of Accessibility. This is to help educate our partners to ensure they fully understand digital accessibility, not just within our software and solutions but understanding how accessibility needs to be embedded as a culture with leadership buy-in and support. We have also: - Launched further internal training opportunities - Began educating the wider market - Launched an accessibility video series - Expanded our accessibility team
